Terry Fitzgerald pipeline gun / windsurfer.

Meeting a friend for a quick surfboard hand over I got a quick glimpse a true piece of surf history. 
Terry Fitzgerald's hand shaped pipeline gun that he, himself, rode at pipe. 
The board very likely, could be the biggest gun, on the far right,  from Jeff Devine's famous quiver shot.
The board was then passed to Hot Buttered's first (and only??) sponsored windsurfer who converted the board to a wave jumper. 

What would I do with it if it were mine, I don't know? 
Would I restore it to its original Hawaiian functionality? Do I value it more with the footstraps, because it tells the story of the next chapter in the evolution?

Nothing gives me a thrill more than uncovering the tiny details of our obscure and buried surf history.
